Community Buddies North East

Community Buddies North East is a home care agency based in Stocksfield, in the Northumberland council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Stocksfield office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, people living with dementia, younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. The agency has been registered since June 2025.

Community Buddies North East has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.

Community Buddies North East has told us it charges £31 an hour for hourly visits, a figure reported to us by the agency, so treat it as a guide rather than a quote, in September 2026. Two visits a day of an hour each comes to about £434 a week.

On how it works, the agency says: charges for travel. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.

Others working the same area include Home Instead Tyne Valley, BelleVie North East Area and Prism Care (North East) CIC, 1 of which has a rate on record. A self-employed carer found through PrimeCarers charges £18 to £25 an hour, and live-in care typically about £1,120 a week across England.
